ATI Catalyst 9.11 Now Available for Download
ATI on Tuesday released its Catalyst software suite, version 9.11, for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. The latest release appears to put a heavy focus on squashing bugs as opposed to injecting performance enhancements to specific gaming titles.
New features include GPU acceleration of H.264 video content using Adobe Flash Player 10.1 beta, and high quality downscaling for video transcoding MSE. Everything else in the release notes is geared towards resolving issues for various OSes. Some of these include:
- Users can now enable and disable CrossFire when three displays are configured in extended mode (all OSes)
- Catalyst Control Center no longer stops responding when setting Eyefinity SLS mode for extended HDMI display (all OSes)
- Resolved an issue where high bit rate audio from Blu-ray discs might not output when using PowerDVD 10 (Windows 7)
- Wolfenstein no longer stops responding when running a 2560x1600 resolution (Windows 7)
- No more green lines at the bottom of the screen when playing some interlaced content (Vista)
- PowerDVD no longer intermittently terminates when playing HD MPEG2 content in extended/clone mode (Vista)
- Transcoding of AC3 files no longer shows corruption in transcoded files (XP)
There are plenty of other bug fixes, as well as some lingering known issues, all of which you can view in the release notes here (PDF).
